We are a growing network of 34 non-profit, high-performing K-12 public charter schools in Connecticut, New York and Rhode Island. But we’re more than that. We’re changemakers. We’re looking for teachers and leaders. We’re looking for people who are “team” at their core. We’re looking for people who have incredibly high standards and who will do whatever it takes to work with amazing students in some of the best schools around, and to stop at nothing to help them achieve greatness.

Our promise.Our mission is to deliver on the promise of equal educational opportunity for all of America’s children. That is what we work for, every day. We know that all children—regardless of race, zip code, or economic status—deserve access to great schools.

We are high performing.We have some of the best schools in the country. Our students are outperforming kids across our cities and states. And they’re going on to college to become whatever they dream of.

We care about people.We can help you become who you’re meant to be, whether you’re 8 or 38. Because at Achievement First, we know that taking care of kids means taking care of teachers, too.

We are innovating & growing.We never stop learning and evolving. It’s a part of everything we do, from our bold new programs to the way our network of schools continues to grow in the communities we serve.
